will put a lot of attention on iowa and on new hampshire, unfortunately, as well because there's a push every four years for iowa and new hampshire to be removed from the top of the calendar. new hampshire now celebrating its 100th anniversary of holding the first primary in the race for the white house. iowa has been first overall, the first caucus state for half a century. but there's been long time, every four years there's a push to get them out because they are not that diverse. overall white populations and neither state has a very large urban area to speak of so people say they are not reflective of the country as a whole. new hampshire was going the brace for that fight again. that fight will be tougher because of what happened in iowa the confusion and reporting debacle. >> what's your scene of the top issues in new hampshire voters are asking about at these town halls and house parties and things like that? >> yeah. health care, obviously has always been a top issue in this cycle. and, you know, of course here in the democratic party there's a f

is what happened four years ago. >> host: comments on iowa and new jersey on twitter from patrick who treats this -- he says iowa and new hampshire are relics of the pastor trying to resist the changing demographics of the u.s. but what you say of that? >> guest: every four years iowa and new hampshire have to put up a fight to keep the first of the nation status but here is their argument did when you take the first four concepts altogether in their entirety still talking iowa, new hampshire which was phenomenally caucasian but then add in nevada which has a very large latino population and south carolina, fourth of the early voting states will majority of the democratic electorate in south kona is african-american and when you take them all together you get a much more balanced look at the overall demographics of this country plus nevada with las vegas and to a lesser degree reno have large urban areas the soccer lineup that in charleston and columbia sore you know, that's what the states sacred would you take off or in their entirety you get a much clearer look. i would also say there's more criticism of the states going first

iowa and new hampshire winning the popular vote on both. pete buttigieg right now if you pull out you can actually see leading in the total delegates after iowa and new hampshire. but the big question is what happens now. and this is what's extremely important after iowa and new hampshire. take a look at the demographics of iowa and new hampshire. voting age population from both states. iowa, 91% white. very few minorities statewide. new hampshire, 93% white. where are we going next? and this is why joe biden is in south carolina right now. when you move onto the next two states that are up, nevada and south carolina. this is citizen voting age population. the minority vote in these states will be much higher for a democratic primary. take a look at nevada. 20% hispanic latino vote. 10% black vote. over to north carolina, it's going to be significantly larger when you narrow it down to just the democratic primary. guys, it's going to get a lot more diverse and that's why a lot of candidates still feel like they have hope in this race. pete b

the report nevada is more demographically diverse than the previous primary and caucuses iowa and new hampshire but it's very relative given just how white iowa and new hampshire are and when it comes to hampshire how much of relatively wealthier it is but nevada does have a significant latino population it has a more working class population so it is a bit more representative of the united states as a whole is horse in the southwest united states very geographically different and bernie was able to hold his support and show as he said in his own speech that he does have broad support across age demographic. a class of these kinds of traditional barriers that used to decide how and why people vote for certain candidates so it is a signal that that that the democratic voters are coalescing around bernie sanders all right and now sanders sanders a win in this caucus was quite significant it was by quite a large margin in 2nd place was joe biden but that was quite far away does this mean biden is done is he finished nothing means anything yet but you make perfect point bernie sanders so far has mo

you know, i don't want to jump in front of iowa or new hampshire, but, you know, it is more diverse. it is more probably representative of the national democratic party than iowa and new hampshire. soledad: give me a sense of of the south carolina voter. who are they? >> african-americans make up pm. but there's some other critical characteristics as well. democratic primary voters tend to be less college educated and more religious. they also tend to be more conservative compared to the typical democrat nationally . soledad: so what are the issues that are most important to the south carolina voter? >> one of the things that's happened in the past decade in south carolina is that we've had a lot of influx in large manufacturing. companies like boeing have opened up a plant in the past decade. and so there has kind of been a manufacturing revival in south carolina that hasn't happened in every state. so i think that's an important economic issue that a lot of south carolinians are looking at. but it's not all economics. i mean, one of the things is that, you know, we had a lot of vete

new hampshire. jeff spent more time in iowa than expected but now with us in new hampshire. based on what faiz shakir told me, even though iowa would like this to be over, it it is not over yet. >> reporter: it is not, ryan. and t and the reality is there is the deadline tomorrow for any campaign to request a recanvass. and as bernie sanders campaign manager told you just a little bit earlier, they do plan to do that. now the iowa democratic party officials i've been speaking with, they've been expecting this. they didn't know if the campaigns would be because the candidates themselves, both pete buttigieg and bernie sanders have said publicly they want to move on and sort of leave iowa behind. but the reality is the delegates patter. if this is going to be a protracted democratic nominating fight which is most certainly is, every delegate is going to matter. so this is a complicated process here in terms of national delegates. you wonder why do two delegates matter, if it is a fight in milwaukee these do matter. and we don't know yet if the buttigieg campaign will also file

. >> reporter: based on iowa and new hampshire, are you worried he might not be electable now? >> i'm not worried because i don't think iowa and new hampshire are reflective of the country. >> reporter: for elizabeth warren. >> i like the way she handle trump with the pocohantas thing. she didn't let it get to her. she has that dismissive way, like nancy, of putting trump in his place. >> my heart says elizabeth and now my mind kind of tells me bloomberg. >> reporter: michael bloomberg got some interest here even though he's not on the nevada caucus ballot. >> i like bloomberg because he has the money, he has the experience and he knows what kind of person trump really is. >> reporter: president trump has a lot of support from evangelical christians so we thought he could have some support here. how many of you are leaning towards donald trump for president? that is not the case. is it important to you to get a candidate who can beat donald trump? >> yes! >> reporter: is that more important than a candidate who shares your principles you might think -- the nevada caucuses are sa

just be iowa that falls out i'm sure there are democrats that want to make greater changes and iowa new hampshire have a joined at the hip for so long a lot of democrats see that as the two for but then if we look at iowa then also new hampshire. >> could that happen? >> we are a fierce defender of the primary and our law allows the secretary of state to only schedule first. the worry is the democratic party decided to penalize candidates who campaigned in new hampshire despite the fact if they refuse to move the primary and in the penalties of some sort it's never been about the delegates it's all about the candidates if they were not here and if the candidate said media are not here it's a different election. >> you can follow him on twitter. >> thank you very much.

new hampshire primary. what are you hearing? >> one of the interesting things is how much can change in a small, compressed time. in the eight days between the iowa caucuses and new hampshire primary. in the mid day of that stretch to have the only debate in the state of new hampshire scrambles the calculus for a lot of the candidates for the ebb and flow during the course of that stretch. it is pretty clear that teethree - - pete buttigieg had coming out of that performance it was still unresolved he had a lot of momentum and was fighting tooth and nail for first place. then the debate friday night and then he came under attack from the other candidates particularly those for more moderate voters in new hampshire like amy klobuchar and now we have seen his numbers add the little this'll be interesting to see how much staying power he has even the sanders campaign is earmarked for their campaign this was his peak performance was the new hampshire primary that year. but elizabeth lauren is from a neighboring state and amy klobuchar finished fifth in iowa then of course joe biden the elephant in the room fresh off of fourth place finish in iowa is

berman is how much does that change after the results in iowa and new hampshire after joe biden to beflat on his face. >> what do we know about bounces coming out of iowa and new hampshire heading into those contests? >> exactly. let's take a look back at 2008, right? before iowa and new hampshire voted in 2008 in nevada, look at this large lead that hillary clinton had. obama came in a close second in new hampshire. look at what happened afterwards. that 18-point margin dropped to just a 4-point margin which is similar to what happened in the actual caucuses in nevada. then look at this. look at south carolina in 2008. before iowa and new hampshire voted, look. it was a one-point lead for hillary clinton. look what happened after obama won those iowa caucuses. obama opened up a double digit advantage and ended up winning the state by nearly 30 points. we have these calls before iowa voted for both nevada and south carolina. but history tells us that those results can really change the landscape in both nevada and south carolina. >> bernie sanders won about 25.9% of the vote last nigh

two weeks away and up next, the nevada caucus, another critical contest in the aftermath of new hampshire and iowa. joining me now from las vegas is minnesota senator amy klobuchar, good morning, senator. >> good morning, martha. it's great to be on. >> after your strong third place finish in new hampshire, you're heading into the nevada caucus with an endorsement shared with joe biden. the most recent fox news poll had you at less than 2% of the vote in both nevada and south carolina. your new hampshire finish may help you. you're just now doing ad buys, how do you pull this off? >> actually "the las vegas review journal" that came out after new hampshire yesterday had me at ten points, that's even a day before our ads even started. so we're pretty excited about that. i think that came out all of the work we did in new hampshire. we had huge crowds, including 1,000 people in reno. the endorsement is also very helpful. we see ourselves on an uphill path. i never thought i'd be able to compete with some of my opponents' bank accounts. what i don't have in that, i have made up in hard work. we have

new hampshire primary what are you seeing and what are you hearing? >> how much can change in a small compressed time period in the eight days between the iowa caucus andew hampshire primary and in the midpoint they stay stretched in the state of new hampshire really can scramble a lot of the candidates during the eight-day stretch it was clear that pete buttigieg still have a lot and essentially tied in the delegates. he had a lot of momentum that onwon by 20 points in 2016 and s fighting tooth and nail the first place than w then we had e debate friday night when they came under attack for the other democratic candidates people like amy klobuchar and since then i think we've seen dave changed a little bit so it's good to be fascinating to see how much power he has. this is the state that they had earmarked for their campaign and a state he did so well years ago probably the peak performance was the new hampshire primary that year. and then of course joe biden and this is the elephant in the them in this democratic primary joe biden -- off the fourth place in iowa, is he doomed to another fourth or fifth place finish in new hampshire, he' he is counti

new hampshire. just days after the iowa caucus failure democrats are hoping to find redemption in the new hampshire primary. still ahead, why this week's problems is mart of a larger issue affecting the white house. this is msnbc. e affecting the w. this is msnbc. score extra savings on mattresses from tempurpedic, serta, beautyrest and sealy, starting at just $399! kick back and relax while we do all the heavy lifting. because every single mattress ships free! you don't want to snooze on these deals. shop now through february 24th. only at wayfair.com. >>> massive reporting delays in determining who would get a share of the 41 delegates at play in iowa. the minimum number of delegates needed to win the nomination on the first ballot is over 1,900. so iowa is statistically wildly insignificant leading to renewed questions about whether it's first in the nation caucus status should go away. joining me now, creator of woke vote and the former african american vote director for the nbc, and the executive director of the advancement project and michael steel, former rnc chairman and msnbc political ana

garbage victories where bernie sanders gets, say, a quarter of a vote in, we've seen that in iowa and new hampshire party, pete buttigieg getting the state delegate equivalent there. nbc news and other news organizations not calling it and then a new hampshire victory at 25% because chase by amy klobuchar got enough of the votes in new hampshire to prevent pete buttigieg from winning you get that split going. but bernie sanders has about an eighth of the overall electorate between democrats and republicans right now. so when i call it a garbage win, i don't mean to diminish bernie sanders supporters at all, but this is not the kind of 52, 5, 60% win he had in new hampshire in 2016. >> jonathan, i think you and i both know they're still going to come after you on social media. i know you love sports, you and lindsey love sports. this is like a basket that you put back through the defense. >> i know. >> knew exai knew at that exact you meant. jesse, no that you're sufficiently hydrated, the title "we're witnessing the reemergence of the moderate democrats," saying it's a continuation of the 2018 mid-

new hampshire voters. ella, i wanted to read to you what the boston globe wrote about iowa and new hampshire and holding theirst emanation status. each testwith starting with iowa and new hampshire becomes harder to fend. a system is unfair to americans in 40 other states. new england loves its traditions. in the centuries since new the role asized first in the nation primary, much has changed. the demographic makeup of the nation has changed. it is time for nominations to change with it. do people have that sensitivity in parts of new hampshire? we know they hold dear their first in the nation primary status. is that changing? caller: i think -- guest: i think that what is changed since 2016 and previous elections before that was who was talking about this. there was always election or politicians in places like nevada and south carolina who have always criticized new hampshire's and iowa's role. former senate majority leader harry reid is famous for criticizing that. he got nevada added to the early state line up in 2006 before the 2008 presidential elections. he said the reason for doing that is that nev

him the race is tightening it was a better night for this man joe biden have to disasters in iowa new hampshire you. know the press is really clear people did pretty. good rule i do we're going back you were odd life was still moderate democrats like biden and jet your concerns they worry sound as ideology plays into the hands of president donald trump but really it was for we rush to nominate senator sanders in our one shot to take on this president let us take a sober look at wasn't it's that for our party for our values and for those with the most to lose senator sanders believes in an inflexible ideological revolution that leaves out most democrats not to mention most americans as if to prove the points trump tweeted his congratulations to quote crazy bernie adding don't let them take it away from me at this stage the democratic contest appears very much sound as still use as the washington post. and joining me in the studio is day of william croft when you talk us through the significance of what happened in nevada it is significant to be 1st put out there that only 50 percent of the preci

iowa and new hampshire winning the popular vote on both. pete buttigieg right now if you pull out you can actually see leading in the total delegates after iowa and new hampshire.

iowa, 91% white. limited minority groups. new hampshire, even higher percentage of white vote. ed minority communities in the state. pete buttigieg and bernie sanders in both iowa and new hampshire were able to take advantage of those demographics. the big question going forward -- do they have a coalition that can go broader than that? let's look at what's coming demographically. you have a very different picture. frankly, a picture more reflective of the democratic party. in nevada, a major hispanic and latino population that will be voting in the democratic primary. 20% statewide. that number will go even higher when you're talking about just democratic voters. south carolina where joe biden was, he's not even being subtle about why he was down there, it's this -- 26.5% of the population voting is first place. even larger when you get into a democratic primary's perspective. that's where candidates are looking going forward. but the reality is this right now -- at the moment, pete buttigieg and bernie sanders, bernie sanders with the win tonight, pete buttigieg having a great

new hampshire. what are you looking for based on what happens tonight in new hampshire -- in iowa? guest: the ground game in new hampshire are the sanders campaign and the worn campaign. both senators are from a neighboring states, extremely well known. obviously, bernie sanders won huge over hillary clinton four years ago in new hampshire. for them, they have that advantage. if warren does not do well tonight here -- we don't know what the results are going to be -- but if she doesn't have a solid performance here, you have to agree that it is all on the line for her in new hampshire. she has got to perform. biden had a bad night tonight here in iowa. new hampshire, he doesn't need to win, he is hoping for that firewall in south carolina and a good performance in nevada. but a poor performance here tonight is terrible for biden. farillion cash on hand behind bernie sanders, elizabeth warren and beat buttigieg. host: about pete buttigieg, he is in the lead with a very small percent of the vote coming in, mostly from satellite locations. he appears to be a little bit stronger than so

elizabeth warren did ok in iowa but terrible in new hampshire. tween warren and biden faltering is where sanders benefits. david: joe biden has had two disappointing outings in iowa and new hampshire, but he says he will do well in south carolina and nevada. can he do that? iowa and new hampshire do not represent the countries in terms of demographic makeup. kyle: specifically they do not represent the democratic electorate. the democrats are a multiracial party. iowa and new hampshire have electorates that are 90% plus white. we knew that joe biden would not -- was not positioned due to do that well in iowa and new hampshire because the state is so white and because joe biden has benefited from the support of nonwhite voters. it is easy to say six months ago biden will not do that well in iowa and new hampshire and live through it, to see how poorly he did, not even cracking double digits in new hampshire. i wonder if we are looking at joe biden as a snapshot of him in the midst of a freefall. we are seeing that in the national polling in that jo

thatur years from now does change the dynamics for iowa and new hampshire being first with the caucuses in iowa in the primary in new hampshire? >> the nightmare scenario for new hampshire is if the democrats lose the election to trump.a party out of power typically goes back and looks at the nomination process and says how can we tinker with this to produce a better nominee in 2024? a commissionset up to look at the process and open the box, it might not just be iowa who falls out. i'm sure there will be democrats who want to make greater changes. iowa and new hampshire have been joined at the hip for so long. i think a lot of democrats see it as a twofer. they will say we are not only going to get rid of iowa, we are going to look at new hampshire as well. >> could that happen with your secretary of state? >> we have a secretary of state who is a fierce defender of the primary. the worry would be if the democratic party decided to try to penalize candidates who campaigned in new hampshire newite the fact that hampshire, let's say, refuses to follow orders to remove its primary. can th

did well in iowa, new hampshire, now in nevada as well. let's check in with cnn's m.j. lee. she's joining us from seattle, washington. that's where elizabeth warren has her campaign headquarters tonight. but you have some news, m.j., on mike bloomberg, what he's up to, how he's reacting to the bernie sanders win. >> that's right, wolf. elizabeth warren is still speaking behind me here in seattle. and after congratulating bernie sanders she immediately went after michael bloomberg. a sign that her campaign thinks that going on the attack against bloomberg is a winning strategy for them. but yes, we have also been checking in with michael bloomberg's campaign and a senior adviser to the former mayor tells cnn that at the current pace that bernie sanders appears to be amassing delegates that they fear that there is nobody else in the democratic race that can potentially catch up to bernie sanders in the

in iowa new hampshire some of the reporting is saying this is a really good thing for biden and you know it was kind of good and it wasn't as bad as ron thought but it certainly if you look at the numbers it doesn't look that you know i think there's no way we saw biden there trying to paper it over but i think there's no way to make this look good for bite it. he badly needed a win for these to come in 2nd a strong finish he did not again he even his argument for a long time has been that he when we move to the more the states are more representative of the electorate a large nationwide a more diverse electorate that he would have a you know stronger standing but the voters in nevada really proved him wrong we saw sanders winning but young voters 30 to 44 year olds moderates and conservatives liberals of course college educated non-college educated and hispanics as we heard in that report as well so he is coming out of this race as a clear front runner to take on trump when we then head into the election november is this sort of looking like the end of the campaign had. i think it's sti

. >> reporter: but based on iowa and new hampshire, are you worried he might not be electable? ot worried because i don't think iowa and new hampshire are reflective of the country. >> reporter: for elizabeth warren? >> i like the way she handled trump with the pocahontas thing. she didn't let it get to her and she has that dismissive way, like nancy, of putting trump in his place. >> my heart says elizabeth and now my mind kind of tells me bloomberg. >> reporter: michael bloomberg got some interest here even though he's not on the nevada caucus ballot. >> i like bloomberg because he has the money, he has the experience and he knows what kind of person trump really is. >> reporter: president trump has a lot of support from evangelical christians, so we thought he could have some support here. how many of you are leaning toward donald trump for president? but that is not the case. is it important for you to get a candidate who you feel can beat donald trump? >> yes. >> reporter: is that more important than a candidate who shares your principles who you think may not be? >> yes. >

not only that, no early voting in iowa or new hampshire. aucuses have something like 16% participation rate, you can only vote one time. people that have to work a shift, workers can't easily get there, disabled community for years complained they're not accessible to them, the rules of the caucus don't make sense in how they allocate delegates. all of that needs to change. i'm glad that they put out a statement saying there will be a process after this primary is over to look at the order of the presidential nominating contest. >> thank you so much. i appreciate it. >> good to be with you. >>> next, the question that could decide the election, are you better off. brand new polls show the highest number of people ever currently are saying yes. mber of people e are saying yes as a caricature artist, i appreciate what makes each person unique. that's why i like liberty mutual. they get that no two people are alike and customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. almost done. what do you think? i don't see it. only pay for wh

what would be your opinion on whether iowa and new hampshire, or an iowa or new hampshire should be moved out of their first of the nation spots? guest: i can speak for new hampshire in the fact that i think this state really kicks the tires for candidates and tests them in a way that cannot be done in other states. it's a small place, 1.3 million people, fairly compact. you can get around as a candidate. we have the highest voter turnout's over and over again in the state of new hampshire. some people say it's our state sport, politics. i agree with that in the fact that we really take civics very seriously. you can't just come into new hampshire and spent all kinds of money on television advertising and when this election. you need to go out there and meet and greet candidates, meet and greet voters and candidates need to take the questions from voters and take follow-up questions. that's good for our democracy. we don't pick a candidate and say everyone else has to do what we do. and we get criticized. we have been criticized by candidates who don't perform here very well. but they don

iowa. she's here to look forward to new hampshire. and amy klobuchar when i interviewed her yesterday felt she was punching above her weight getting that close to the former vice president in iowa, clearly others using joe biden as the legitimacy factor. amy klobuchar is interested in how 42 some odd% of undeclared voters in new hampshire will vote. in talking to new hampshire voters, they feel like the pressure is on. they want to deliver the first decisive decision to the nation, steph. >> explain the current dispute between the iowa democratic party and the dnc. >> reporter: there's a lot of frustration between the two entities now. two democratic leaders familiar with the situation say tom perez's tweet calling for the recanvas came as a complete surprise to those in iowa. the delegate selection plan they put out that the dnc approved, that's something that only campaigns can do. as of now, the deadline is noon. we haven't heard if campaigns are filing for that. the recanvas means the iowa

al gore in 2000 and john kerry worked candidate won in iowa and one in new hampshire. r that is the electrics tend to be quite different. most importantly, in iowa, you have really low turnouts, so it's typically just the activists to come out and vote. new hampshire will have high turnout spirit i highest turnout here is 56% the record high away and iowa is 16% so just regular folks that came out and vote in new hampshire determine who the nominees going to be. not just actavis. gerry: is further complicated by the mess in iowa and a potential tie between pete buttigieg and bernie sanders. so it's kind like we are starting afresh. what is your expectation in terms of what's going to happen on tuesday right now. boarded that stand in the polls? >> as a poster i was i am dubious of any polls the primary because so many people make up their minds of the very end. for an example in 2060 on the republican sign, 45% of republicans said they made up their mind in the last three days and 15% made up their minds on the election day. i think that's the format this year. but if i

new hampshire. so biden finished fourth in iowa. let's say fourth again in new hampshire, hypothetically. there will be polling done shortly after that in south carolina which isn't until february 29th. what that shows is critical. is joe biden still ahead by 25 points as he has been? is his black support as we saw in a quinnipiac support shrinking with other candidates? if that's the case, then the whole, well, this isn't diverse doesn't really matter. the momentum wave has overwhelmed. >> and that's what we'll find out. >> so nice to have you. >> so nice to see you guys in person. >> thanks for being with us. >>> a lot ahead. still to come, the global death toll for coronavirus has topped 1,000 people. the centers for disease control plans a major press conference today. we'll also take you live to beijing. >>> also, house judiciary chairman jerry nadler is demanding details from the attorney general about the information sharing arrangement between rudy giuliani and the justice department. >>> and they are everywhere. but what real impath do political ads have in new hampshire and on t

iowa. in new hampshire voted. he was a.5 in ten shot. he's up after a strong performance in iowa and new hampshire. someone else who is up. this might be a surprise. bloomberg is at a 1 in 10 shot. based on the fact he's been strong in national polls. that is up from where he was iowa and new hampshire. when he was a .5 shot. the senator from new hampshire. klobuchar. she is at a .5 in ten shot. which isn't that high. compared to where she was before the iowa caucus. a .1 in ten chance of winning the most amount of delegates. >> it's interesting to figure out what bloomberg will mean to this party. what it says about the way the system works that he's into it to the point he is. what it says about the party. how much more they're trying to figure out about what they want and whom. those are the green arrows. that's good. now you have the odds that have gone down the most. what do you have? >> if someone goes up someone must go down. former vice president of the united states. joe biden at a 1.5 in 10 shot. compared to where he was before

instead of endorsing a candidate in the new hampshire primary, it's pushing for iowa and new hampshire to move later in the season. the board writes, more important than wielding our influence on a single small state primary is to call for an end of an an indicated system in giving outside evidence that choose two states that resemble more 19th century america than they do today. new hampshire is lars percent white and less african-americans and latino than the rest of the country. why should new hampshire weed out candidates for a country that it largely looks not much like? >> this will be the fourth process that we've had where we're a explorer state both with nevada and south carolina included in the prewindow. they were purposely done because of the large amount of people with color votes is in both nevada, with latino voters and in south carolina where the majority of people who will be voting in the south carolina primary are african-americans. so it really gives a voice of all four regions of the country. >> but how many of the members -- sorry, there's a delay here, so the vie

new hampshire. buttigieg one in iowa as well, seeming to hit a wall nationally. neither despite strong new hampshire performance for them both able to break into double digits nationally. one other significant think, we talked about how ethnically diverse later states are compared to iowa and new hampshire, we have been saying, what is the black vote in particular going to look like. check out this contrast. sanders leading, bloomberg second, warren, klobuchar, buttigieg, double digits. check out african-american voters. we talked about biden having 30, 40, even 50 point leads among black voters early in the race. now a three point advantage, that's what biden is down to. sanders moving up there, challenging biden for the lead with black voters. one out of four votes in primaries collectively will come from black voters. >> steve, stick around. senator sanders and mayor bloomberg lead that new polling, their kmcampaigns are going aft one another hard. it is a fight that could continue today and on the debate stage. josh letterman is in vegas with the latest. take

that would be welcome news for him after those disappointing losses in both iowa and new hampshire. one thing that the biden campaign is really banking on here in nevada is the fact there's a diverse demographic in the state. they believe that biden will perform better among african-american and latino voters compared to his first few contest. there's a very strong union and labor presence here. they think that could work in biden's advantage. i caught up with los angeles mayor right after his event with joe biden earlier today in las vegas. take a listen to what he had to say. >> just because he was the vice president, this campaign, he's an underdog and a favorite at the same time. we're going to campaign like they a he's an underdog. joe biden is out there hustling, convincing people you might have known me before but let me tell you what i'm going to do for you today and tomorrow. >> reporter: the biden campaign really hoping that nevada can be a launching bad ining pad as hu this path. they are hoping for a turn around that a pastor just inside this north las vegas event was le

we don't know where his campaign is going to go, but a strong showing in iowa, strong showing in new hampshire out of -- he won the iowa caucuses. for an openly gay candidate for president, that's a huge deal, and it's probably inevitable that the other side out of fear or whatever has to attack. >> one thing about this rush limbaugh thing is that is actually a window into how this is going to go. people -- it's awful and terrible, but this is the way it's going to be and everyone should get ready for that if buttigieg does end up winning this thing. >> okay. >>> coming up, candidates try to cash in before nevada and south carolina. nder wild-caught lobst, dig in to butter-poached, fire-roasted and shrimp & lobster linguini. see? dreams do come true. or if you like a taste of new england without leaving home, try lobster, sautéed with crab, jumbo shrimp and more, or maybe you'd like to experience the ultimate surf and the ultimate turf... with so many lobster dishes, there's something for every lobster fan so hurry in and let's lobsterfest. or get pick up or delivery at redlobster.com that's e

new hampshire. and, look, the most important thing about iowa really tends to be about momentum, fund-raising. you're still going to see that coming out of new hampshire and the most important thing, it's about the delegate allocation. >> right. again, we don't know any of it. we don't know any of the results. and notwithstanding what we heard from kate bedingfield. they are just trying to get it right. notion what kate was saying, leaning in to questioning whether the results will be fair, there are supporters of bernie sanders who have done the same thing. go on social media last night and there are people spinning theories that somehow iowa is going to be good for bernie sanders so they decided to spike the results overnight. these are the theories floating out there with just no proof at all this morning. >> and you can't really blame them when you watch the way the process unfolded last time and the dnc put their thumb on the scales for hillary clinton. that was revealed in some of the internal leaks that came out. and you had a poll that had a spike on saturday that happened to be good fo

new hampshire. what should we know about the last go around? in iowa and ultimately new hampshire? vid: well, the fiasco in iowa, the close count, is one of the reasons the rules, the big reason why the democratic rules is changed. this notion that everyone's vote should count is important. in fact, senator sanders' people believe to this day that they had more people showing up for him then hillary clinton had for her. she had a small percentage more delegates than he did. that is what was being counted that year. so people said she one. and she grabbed it and said i wanted and ran with that. now that will not happen again. because energized the sanders it really energized the sanders people. felt a little cheated and i they think that was a help for him going into new hampshire. it's not always good to win in iowa because you become a big target in new hampshire. like to make up their own mind. voters there they like to say, we pick presidents here. and so i think it put her at a , disadvantage heading into new hampshire. side, the republican donald trump finished second place. he

most polling done before iowa and new hampshire, so we haven't had that much data in nevada and south carolina since. but before, he's in theed my double digits in both places. now that the race turned to these states, steyer was nowhere in iowa or new hampshire, does his support stay, is it just people who saw his ad or it people who are really with him. if it goes, i think some of it will go if it goes, where does it go? is it buttigieg, is it warren, is it sanders? it is hard to take -- steyer's appeal is not easily put in a package. it is hard to say it will transfer over to this one -- he is someone with -- if you're talking about the most combined support in south carolina and nevada, it is sanders, biden and steyer right now at least. we'll see what happens. we got four or five days left before the caucuses. he is a real factor, no matter what. >> yeah. so when you couple all that together, finally, molly, amy klobuchar, up in this poll to 9%, she has that klomentum if you will as it has been dubbed after the last debate. she has to perform well in this debate tomorrow night. b

new hampshire. obama won in iowa, did not win in nevada. u saw hillary clinton winning in nevada. bernie sanders won new hampshire. >> the answer is we don't know yet. >> we don't know yet. >> that is the answer. >> let's just talk about this. you know, there's all this talk about a contested convention. and i'm actually pretty big on this train right now of there being a realistic shot. i'm going to tell you why i'm banking on this train. look at the iowa winner this year. we don't know who's won yet. we do know there is about 26% of the vote. that is the lowest share ever for a iowa caucus winner since 1992. and bernie sanders won new hampshire but with 26% of the vote. the lowest percentage since 192. these two combined do hint at that. >> you know what you had in none of those races that you have in this race? a billionaire with endless amounts of money. >> that could shift the entire dynamic. but i think there's another thing that i'm looking at. how many candidates actually got above a certain threshold? so four candidates were at or a

bernie is doing very well, when you look at how this is breaking down both in iowa new hampshire, thatft pragmatic lane is winning. in new hampshire, 52% of voters wanted either pete buttigieg or amy klobuchar or joe biden. 35% wanted either bernie or elizabeth warren, and that was their backyard. if this is a litigation between the center and the left, moderates are winning. and why? because democrats have this pragmatic streak of simply wanting a candidate who can defeat donald trump? >> amy klobuchar, she had a pretty huge night. burst into the top three in new hampshire. large share of voters say that they made up their minds late. what does that tell you, if anything, susan? >> it's a big victory for amy klobuchar. who thought that she would be the -- really the biggest surprise, i think in new hampshire. that she came in third. she beat elizabeth warren who is from the state next door, she beat joe biden and she did it with the message that steve was talking about saying i'm speaking for people who are not -- who are uncomfortable with where the country is going right now under p
